Abstract

Developments in educational systems worldwide have largely contributed to the modernization and globalization of present-day society. However, in order to fully understand their impact, educational systems must be interpreted against a background of particular situations and contexts. This textbook brings together more than twenty (collaborative) contributions focusing on the two key themes in the work of Marc Depaepe: educationalization and appropriation. Compiled for his international master classes, these selected writings provide not only a thorough introduction to the history of modern educational systems, but also a twenty-five year overview of the work of a well-known pioneer in the field of history of education.

Abstract

The pursuit of equity in mathematics education is an important concern in the history of the present. Since there is no doubt about the significant role of mathematics in almost every aspect of life, it means that all individuals regardless of sex, in any age range, and in whatever context need to be provided with an opportunity to become mathematically able. The publication of his Springer volume on equity in mathematics education is situated at a time when there is strong and sustained research evidence indicating the persistence of an equity gap in mathematics, which has now enabled the mathematics education community to engage in a discourse of access for all. The volume gathers together twenty major chapters that tackle a variety of issues associated with equity in mathematics education along the dimensions of gender, culture, curriculum diversity, and matters of a biological nature. The research studies that are reported and discussed in the volume have been drawn from an international group of distinguished scholars whose impressive, forward-looking, and thought- provoking perspectives on relevant issues incite, broaden, and expand complicated conversations on how we might effectively achieve equity in mathematics education at the local, institutional, and systemic levels. Further, the up-to-date research knowledge in the field that is reflected in this volume provides conceptual and practical outlines for mechanisms of change, including models, examples, and usable theories that can inform the development of powerful equitable practices and the mobilization of meaningful equity interventions in different contexts of mathematics education.

Abstract

The picture on the front of this book is an illustration for Totakahini: The tale of the parrot, by Rabindranath Tagore, in which he satirized education as a magnificent golden cage. Opening the cage addresses mathematics education as a complex socio-political phenomenon, exploring the vast terrain that spans critique and politics. Opening the cage includes contributions from educators writing critically about mathematics education in diverse contexts. They demonstrate that mathematics education is politics, they investigate borderland positions, they address the nexus of mathematics, education, and power, and they explore educational possibilities. Mathematics education is not a free enterprise. It is carried on behind bars created by economic, political, and social demands. This cage might not be as magnificent as that in Tagore’s fable. But it is strong. Opening the cage is a critical and political challenge, and we may be surprised to see what emerges.

Abstract

Kinderen gaan met meer plezier naar school en leren beter als hun ouders betrokken zijn bij de school. Ouders dragen dus bij aan het schoolsucces van hun kinderen. Ouderbetrokkenheid staat volop in de belangstelling. Er is veel over geschreven. Meestal vanuit het perspectief van de school: Wat kunnen leraren doen om de betrokkenheid van ouders te vergroten? Dit boek hanteert een ander perspectief: dat van de ouders zelf! Vanuit een kader dat populair is in het onderwijs en waarbij het kind centraal staat: handelingsgericht werken (HGW). Het boek pleit voor een bundeling van krachten en biedt ouders een kader voor communicatie. Het geeft hen tips hoe op een positieve manier met leraren in gesprek te gaan en te blijven. Wat kun je vragen? Wat is belangrijk om te vertellen? Het bevat ook tips hoe met je kind over school te praten en hoe mee te denken bij een aanpak die past bij je dochter of zoon. Want als ervaringsdeskundige weet je als geen ander wat werkt bij je kind. De samenwerking tussen ouders en leraren verbetert immers aanzienlijk als ouders weten wat zij van leraren kunnen verwachten en wat die van hen verwachten. Hoe beter de samenwerking, hoe hoger het schoolplezier van kinderen. En dat is het doel van dit boek: dat kinderen met plezier naar school gaan, zich er veilig en gewaardeerd voelen, zin in leren hebben en zich gezien hun mogelijkheden optimaal ontwikkelen
